BEAN S— POLE, OR RUNNING— Continued 



n ¥ • r» r .• WTi 'a. An early maturing, white 



St. Louis rerrectlOn White seeded pole bean, very de- 

 sirable for snaps and certainly unsurpassed green shelled. Vine 

 vigorous and very productive. Pods round, very long, irregular in 

 shape and quite stringless. The beans when shelled green are 

 large, very tender and white, a very desirable feature when com- 

 parison is made with the colored beaiis of other varieties of this class. 

 Many of the most successful gardeners about St. Louis consiaer this 

 bean by far the most desirable pole bean yet offered. (See cut in Sup- 

 plenient, page 6) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 50c; 4 Qts. $1.75; Pk. $3.00 



Red Speckled Cut Short, or Corn Hill ty, very popu- 

 lar in the central and southern states for planting among corn. It 



will give a good crop without the use of poles. Amines medium sized, 



but vigorous, twining loosely with dark colored leaves; pods short, 



fleshy and of good quality. Seed nearly oblong, cut off diagonally 



at the ends, dull white, covered at one end and slightly over the 



wiiole surface with reddish brown dots. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c;

 T\ t. \^ r* 1^ '£ Vines moderately vigorous, climbing well, 



LlUtCll L^a.Se lSk.nire but twining more loosely than some and 



so may be used for a corn hill bean. Leaves large, crumpled; pods 



very long, flat, irregular, green, but becoming creamy white as they 



mature. Seed broad, kidney shaped, flat, clear white and of excel- 

 lent quality whether used green or dry. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

 x/- . 1 \\r 1 \\r A vigorous growing, wax podded 



Kentucky Wonder Wax pole bean similar, aside from color 



of pod, to the green podded Kentucky Wonder. Pods very long. 



broad, very fleshy and quite stringless as snaps, while for green 



shells later in the season the pods are well filled with large beans 



of delicious flavor. Its earliness and hardiness commend it as a pole 



bean well adapted even for northern latitudes. Its very large, golden 



yellow pods are certainly handsome in appearance and are unex- 

 celled in quality by any wax podded bean of its class. {See cut in

strong growing, vigorous, .hardy; leaves large, light green, crimped; 



pods six to eight inches long, borne in abundant clustei's, each con- 

 taining from three to six pods varying in color from golden yellow to 



creamy white. Pods very broad, but quite thick and fleshy, deeply 



creased along the edge to which the beans are attached, of the very 



best quality and stay in condition for use a long time. Seed 



flattened, oval, dull white in color. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c;

Lazy 



W.r One of the best of the later green podded pole beans 

 ire for snaps. The pods, borne in large clusters, are five 



to seven inches long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely sti'ingless. 

 When young they have a rich, buttery flavor which is retained 

 until they are nearly ripe. The drj^ beans are excellent for winter 

 use. Seed white. Pkt, 10c; Pt, 30c; Qt. 45c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.75

POLE LIMAS 



Q *Vtt »•' F 1 I * Introduced by us in 1895. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the 



t^eiDert S Eiarly Liima green beans, this variety is far in advance of all other early Limas for either the garden 

 or market. The vine is very productive and continues so from the very first to the last of the season; so that although 

 the pods rarely contain more than four beans the total yield is enormous. The green shelled beans are very large, 

 very tender and of finest quality. The beans shrink in drying so that the seed is about the size of the Large 

 White Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt, 25c; Qt, 40c; 4 Qts, $1.50; Bu, $7,50

 The vme is unusually vigorous in growth and is verv 

 productive, bearing large clusters of broad pods each six 

 to eight inches long, and containing four to six large beans 

 of most excellent quality. While the variety matures a 

 little later than Seibert's Early Lima, the pods are much 

 larger and no Lima grown is more attractive in appear- 

 ance. A splendid acquisition for market gardeners.

King of the Garden Lima an^ p7o d u f t [v e^ 



Pods very long, fllled with four or five immense white 

 laeans of the finest quality. On account of its large pods 

 It is a favorite witli market gardeners. It will come into 

 bearing sooner and will make larger pods if not more 

 than two vines are left to grow on a pole. Pkt. 10c;

abundance of fine, large pods usually closely filled with 

 four beans of largest size and much thicker thd,n the 

 average pole lima. Color distinctive in having a decided 

 greenish tint, an indication of fine quality. When cooked 

 the beans are very thin skinned, extremely tender and of 

 exceptionally fine flavor. A splendid bean for the home 

 and market garden. (-See cut in Supplement, page k)
